Escaping into dreams to deal with his grief, Kakyou relives his first meeting with Hokuto.

When Hokuto asks Kakyou where he wants to go he says he cannot leave. He can never go outside. Hokuto says that is unacceptable for a date with a cute girl like her and asks where he really wants to go. Kakyou answers, The Ocean.

This is my dream, Hokuto says, but the ocean in reality is much more beautiful than this. She invites Kakyou to go with her, outside the dream to the real world.

He tries to take her offered hand, but does not really believe that he will escape this dream, escape his destiny. So Kakyou decides to sleep, forever sleep, numbing the pain of reality.
